The price is currently trading at 1.3925, and we can clearly see that the coin is in a consolidation phase with a slight sideways drift after a previous upward wave. The price is now testing important psychological and technical support levels. The trading volume is showing a relative decline, indicating a "wait-and-see" state before the next price explosion.
realistic price targets
• First target: $1.55 (a nearby resistance area and a test of the April peak).
• Second target: $1.82 (an important Fibonacci level and a previous price gap).
• Strategic target: $2.10 (a strong historical supply zone requiring massive liquidity to break).
Expected time frame
• First target: within (7 to 10 days) if Bitcoin stabilizes.
• Second target: (two weeks to a month) provided we close daily above $1.60.
• Strategic target: (two to three months) heavily reliant on legal news or a surge in the overall market.
Controversial scenarios
• Positive scenario: Breaking the $1.45 level and holding above it with a full daily candlestick opens the door for a significant jump towards $1.95, where 'fear of missing out' (FOMO) liquidity will flow in.
• Cautious scenario: The current volatility requires monitoring key support zones at $1.30 and $1.15. Breaking below $1.28 means returning to dull and lengthy accumulation zones.
Golden advice for traders
"Ripple is not a coin that moves gradually; it explodes suddenly and stuns everyone. Don’t chase long green candlesticks; start building your positions in support areas (around $1.35 - $1.30) and wait patiently. The market is currently flushing out 'weak hands' before the big launch."
What’s going to happen in the coming days?
We expect continued sideways volatility between $1.32 and $1.42 to absorb selling pressure. If buyers manage to hold the $1.38 area as support, we’ll see a serious attempt to hit the $1.50 zone before the week ends.
